When the Blue Jackets last saw right winger Derek Dorsett on Friday, he had a searing headache after tumbling backward and smacking his helmeted head on the ice during a 3-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche.

Dorsett has had concussion issues all the way back to Junior. The Blue Jacket's are covering up for him, they have seen him get injured in practice situations as well as games. He's going to take a hard hit from someone and go down for serious time. Meanwhile the player who hits him is going to end up with a long unjustified suspension. The NHL has to take a good look at the history of some of these players. The player isn't going to take a million dollar pay cheque out of their own pocket. They'll blame everybody else and find a way to keep playing.
